FiveTech Software tech support forums

Hello,

I am thinking about transferring my DBF-files in my FWH-application to a SQL-database.

Until now, I have no experience at all with SQL.

What do I need to do ?

Or where can I find a good manual to do the transfer ?

Thank you in advance.

ADO is the best choice for me .. there is the 'free' ado rdd available on this forum or you can do it the way I do and code everything manually with recordsets.

I wrote a thread on the subject with samples:

If I can be of any help just drop me a message.

Rick, do you have a connection string for MySQL remote?

EMG

Enrico,

There is one included in the ADORDD samples

The following sample stops with DISP_E_UNKNOWNNAME:
Do I have to install something MySQL related on the client?

EMG

Enrico,

> Do I have to install something MySQL related on the client?

Yes, you have to install the MySQL client software

Do you have the link at hand?

EMG

Enrico,

No, sorry

As far as I remember you can download it from the MySQL website.

Its a long time since we tested it

Already found, thank you.

EMG

Enrico,

Would you mind to post here the download url ? Thanks!

Here it is:

EMG

Enrico,

Thanks!

Use harbour\contrib\Tmysql.prg ,without any windows setting ,direct TCP/IP using, like Xbase.
t1:=oserver:query("select * from table1 ")
t1:gotop()
t1:skip(1)
t1:fieldname1:="aaaa"
t1:save()
t1:delete()
t1:end()
...

Our modified tmysql.prg:
